Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a liquid-solid metal alloy phase for further processing as a material in the thixotropic state, wherein an alloy melt with a solidified portion of primary crystals is kept at a temperature between the solidus and liquidus temperature of the alloy and the primary crystals to individual degenerate dendrites or molded grains of substantially globulitic shape.
  • the inventors have set themselves the goal of creating a method of the type mentioned at the outset with which a metal alloy phase with thixotropic properties can be produced with as few oxidic inclusions as possible, low porosity and uniform casting grain size and the treatment time of the alloy pulp can be kept as short as possible. that there is no significant coarsening of the grain.
  • the process should be simple to carry out and inexpensive.
  • the vibrations which are preferably in the ultrasonic frequency range between 18 and 45 kHz, cause in addition to the desired formation of fine, globulitic cast grains of uniform grain size, homogenization and degassing of the melt in the partially solidified melt.
  • the mechanical vibrations in the alloy slurry can be generated in any way, for example via the mold by coupling a vibration generator to the mold frame.
  • the oscillations are preferably generated via the oscillation surface of at least one oscillation generator immersed directly in the molten metal, the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation surface being between 5 and 100 microns, preferably between 20 and 60 microns.
  • the mechanical vibrations can take place continuously or pulsating, the pulsing duration preferably setting the pulse duration between 20 ms and 10 s, in particular between 0.1 s and 1 s, and the ratio of the pulse duration of the mechanical vibrations to the pause duration between 0.1 and 1 lies.
  • the method according to the invention can be used both in stationary mold casting processes such as mold casting and sand casting as well as in continuous processes such as vertical and horizontal, conventional and electromagnetic continuous casting and strip casting processes of all kinds.
  • the power introduced into the melt via the mechanical vibrations is preferably 2 to 50 W / cm2 strand cross section, in particular 5 to 20 W / cm2 strand cross section.
  • the vibration area of the vibration generator (s) is preferably 1 to 100%, in particular 10 to 60%, of the strand cross-sectional area.
  • a piezoelectric vibration generator is advantageously used to generate the mechanical vibrations, since its amplitude can be set precisely regardless of its power and, moreover, larger amplitudes are possible than with magnetomechanical vibration generators.
  • liquid-solid metal alloy phase produced by the process according to the invention is first cooled below the solidus temperature of the alloy - generally to room temperature.
  • the structure with the thixotropic properties is "frozen".
  • the thixotropic state of the alloy is restored by rapid heating again to a temperature in the range between solidus and liquidus temperature of the alloy.
  • liquid-solid metal alloy phase with thixotropic properties can also be processed immediately after it has been produced, without prior solidification.
  • the heat extraction is controlled in such a way that the minimum temperature of the slurry does not drop below the solidus temperature of the alloy. Instead of a solid strand, the liquid-solid metal alloy phase is drawn off and processed directly.
  • alloy also includes the pure metals with production-related impurities, for example the different qualities of pure aluminum.
  • the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for producing thixotropic aluminum alloys. In principle, however, all castable alloy systems can be processed.
  • a vertical continuous casting plant 10 has a ring-shaped, internally cooled mold 12, the gap-shaped opening 14 of which is used to apply coolant 16 to the surface of the strand 18 emerging from the mold 12.
  • Above the mold 12 there is an attachment 20 made of refractory, heat-insulating material to form a so-called hot-top.
  • the liquid metal 22 is fed to the mold 12 via a trough 24.
  • the strand 18 is continuously lowered by means of a start-up floor 26, which keeps the mold 12 closed until the start of casting.
  • a vibration generator 28 with a vibration surface 30 dips into the liquid metal 22.
  • the mechanical vibrations transmitted from the vibration surface 30 of the vibration generator 28 to the liquid metal 22 lead in the mushy zone 32 between the liquid metal 22 and the solidified strand 18 to the formation of globular cast grains and thus to the liquid-solid metal alloy phase with thixotropic properties.
